Dray will follow up with Boland re: details of food from Far Land Provisions.**
Johnstone will post the meeting.**

 

We’ll arrive @ 9 a.m., meet briefly, then prepare for arrivals.  Basically, our goals will be 2-fold:
     a)  the HC will introduce itself / ourselves; and other organizations will introduce themselves
     b)  the HC will announce its purpose, mission, and new role as Building Committee for overseeing the         maintanence of Town Historic Buildings, and will ask how History does or can play into the  mission of their respective organizations.

 

Priolo and Dray  will meet with Crone during the week, prior to the Summit re: program not being too “touchy-feely”.**

 

Johnstone will update the accumulative RSVP list and email to all.

Polites shared that someone at the Library is scanning all images and text from the Josephine Del Deo 1970 Survey of Town Buildings; and that De Jonker-Berry wants direction from the HC.  We’ll want to be sure the resolution is good enough to eventually upload onto the History Project Website.

 

Johnstone announced that with Anderson becoming Selectman, the CPC needs member/s; and with Gandolfo’s term up, the Community Preservation / Open Space Committee also needs a member.
